| Comments: |
The trails were very wet due to the rain Thursday late. If you don't know Willey Ridge Trail it is about a 1650' gain north to the summit in a little over a mile from where it leaves the AT. It includes several sets of ladders not too far down from the summit (slippery when wet!, and impressively constructed by whoever built them!) Be careful! This section of the WRT counts as one of the "elective" trails on the Terrifying 25 List! It is an appropriate designation! |
